{ Simple Cozy Christmas Kitchen Decor +VLOG }

Oh heyyyy Sunday & everyone haha! I hope your weekend was amazing & festive. We had a little get together Friday, Saturday worked on some home stuff & enjoyed time with out niece at the light-fest while sipping on some yummy milkshakes..pretty perfect Saturday if your ask me!! Today I'm sharing another cozy space in our home that I always decorate for Christmas but honestly just have been so busy I forgot to post earlier for inspiration!!! It's one of those spots that most people wouldn't think to decorate much but for me noooo space is safe from Christmas decor ha! I'm also sharing a more in depth look on my new vlog --> VLOG Channel

This is something new, but I figured it would be nice to show people how a blogger styles a space the practical way/ behind the scenes etc.. It's nothing fancy but it's real & I HOPE you'll subscribe.. Anyways come check out this cozy little spruced up Christmas space below..

 

As I said on my vlog channel, most of my blog post are things that stay like they are photographed & aren't just "staged" but things like the stool & glass milk bottles were for photos & I LOVE that I can share that with you guys/ "behind the scenes". I've branded myself on being a Practical Home Blogger & I hope you all appreciate that..with all the other staged ones I'm among.

 

I love these trees on the side of our sink & just added some thrifty plastic silver bulbs & a cute - Merry Christmas - sign! See the vlog for how I hung it etc..

 

I know I'll get this question at least once.." Why leave your cleaning supplies out"? I love Mrs. Meyers & I honestly like the Christmas packaging & we use them daily!

 

I love the simple rustic cottagey look with still being functional but with a bit of Christmas warmth & cheer!!

 

The rustic greenery sign was a DIY long ago that I never blogged. It's soo imperfect but old as well that it had that vintage chipped looked & I love it hanging here! You guys know I love my signs & this little charming tin one was perfect & freee!

 

What do you guys think about the kitchen decorated for Christmas? Do you decorate your kitchen counters or kitchen window ledge? Be sure to check the VLOG out too..Let me know what you guys think about all of this!!!

Happy Monday!

{ Whimsical Country Cottage Christmas Living Room }

Well helloooo everyone & welcome back!! Today is room #5 on my Christmas room tour & I'm so excited for you to cozy in & come see this space..This weekend we utilized this space sooo much & it felt amazing!! We are so busy that the weekends are our sanctuary along with this little spot { our upper living room }. I mentioned via my Instagram that during December we tend to leave all the lights on, not to waste energy but because Christmas comes & goes so fast we like to enjoy them & that is just what we did alll Sunday!! It was super cozy/ magical & I just hope I caught at least a glimpse of that twinkle & warmth from this space on camera for you guys!! I think I'll have our FULL Holiday Home Tour up by Wednesday or Thursday ..I'll also be doing two bonus spaces for you guys..Stay tuned folks..P.S. 15 days until Christmas..HOW?!!

 

Just like most of my designs these white & grey plaid pillows were a last minute idea that lead me into this theme haha! I lucked out after waking up on Sunday at noon with awesome light & got right to work! I think I was feeling extra inspired from Frankenmuth the night before & still hyped up on the pounds of chocolate haha!

 

This space exceeded my expectations this year...which is hard because this room is super long & big! I think I accomplished making it cozy & warm with neutrals & pinches of whimsical flares like the gold beaded light garland, wood pieces & flocked tree!

 

I bought those simple tree pillows from HomeGoods a few months back & knew I wanted to incorporate grey & white with them..a super neutral whimsical cottage Christmas..Crazy how things come together!

 

You can see in some of the pictures I used the black tag candle that smells like Abercrombie & Fitch, & then the glass white mason jars with the little vintage style Cracker Barrel bottle..Reason? I got bored & I used up all of that candle hahaha

 

Side Note: I'll be posting night pictures via my Instagram & Facebook so be sure you're following { top right of page blog }

 

The chalkboard fit in perfectly with this year's flocked tree, textures, creamy white candles & splashes of green magic! The simplest Christmas decor, but I must say my FAV for this room in the 5 years we've been here.

 

 

I really hope you guys liked this space!!! You can check our  last year's Christmas Living room HERE & be sure to scroll back & see the first 4 spaces on the blog!!!

Happy Tuesday!

{ DIY Cottage Style Wood Planked Porch in 3 Easy Steps..}

Happy Wednesday friends!! I hope your week has been going well..Ours has been busy, but what's new haha. As I was walking in our front door I realized I never blogged our little DIY planked wood porch.. We started this project that took 45 minutes tops right before vacay to NYC in November & so it was about time I blogged it.. I was craving something warmer & more cottage style for Christmas, so while in the garage I spotted some brand new wood planks from one of my husband's contracting jobs & decided I would see if they worked in this space...Y'all a MIRACLE happened- they fit PERFECT haha..I grabbed a few more & I really loved how the wood warmed the space up instead of the boring grey stone. This Christmas porch isn't done { I'm still adding a few things} but I thought since it was sunny today & it was somewhat staged I would show you guys this quick & easy little project!! You guys know when we do projects & say simple, we really mean s i m p l e..You won't believe how easy this was..Come take a peek below for more details & a sneak peek at our cozy cottage Christmas porch so far..

 

How To:

• Clean area { We used our blower }
• Lay wood planks out to be sure of measurement etc.. { You can also lay horizontal }
• Use a mallet or hammer to lightly tap planks into place.
• Clean again if need be..

 

 

I love the rustic appeal paired with the warm tones in the wood & chippy buckets, stool & simple green pines!! I'll be blogging this full space soon all decked out for Christmas as my attempt today failed with the high winds hahah..typical Paige moment!

 

This sign was a DIY wayyy back when, but it fit this space nicely, so why not?! The sled is also a recent makeover & I'll be blogging that soon as well...Ahh you guys I'm feeling so behind this year!! 

Side Note: The flooring is engineered, so if it happens to get wet etc.. out here which it has, it's perfectly fine!

 

The smell of that fresh Douglas Fir & cozy elements is perfect for our little welcoming cottage entrance!

 

What do you guys think about this little simple porch DIY? I've said this a million times before,but it's the most random projects that turn out to be my favorite hahah..this is at the top of my list!!  What do you think about this fun & cozy DIY/makeover element?

**You can see our Christmas Porch last year HERE

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
